Dordogne
Chateaux
It is claimed the Dordogne
has over 1000 chateaux.
There is everything from
defensive
chateaux
or
castles from which the 100
years war was fought to
stately homes.
The chateaux are famous
throughout France and it is
worth visiting more than one
of the Chateaux of the
Dordogne as they all have
something different to offer.

The Dordogne Valley is often
referred to the as the 'Valley
of the 5 Chateaux' due to the
five very historic chateaux
dating from the 100 years
wars.
The
two
most
impressive chateaux are the
famous Chateau de Beynac
and Chateau de Castelnaud.
These chateaux are reputed
to be the most visited
chateaux in France.
